One of my wife's patients happened to leave behind a copy of Progressive Railroading magazine, so she brought it home for me. I'm more into regressive railroading myself, of course, but it was interesting to look at. I was very happy to see an article by my old friend Wally Weart, a long-time IRM member who now lives in Denver. It's good to see he's doing well. Here's part of a picture from his article on how to maintain track and avoid heat kinks. The subject is long and complex, but we never seem to have problems like this with good old-fashioned stick rail, so maybe that's the price of progress.
